How are you different? What’s special about you? Are you reliable, stable? Are your people the best? What about your methods and processes? Do your customers trust you? What do you stand for in the first place? Why choose YOU?

A lot of really solid businesses don’t look that way to the outside world. People want to believe, but you need to show them the way.

That starts with a strong visual brand.

Situated in the loft district south of Spring Garden, our new place was once part of the nation’s largest button factory and the sense of all the hard work done there over a century’s time definitely still hangs in the air. If you look closely, you can even find ancient buttons here and there that are embedded in the floors.

We made the addition mainly to accommodate clients visiting from out of town, because the city’s so much more convenient for people than heading north to our original place in Skippack, Montgomery County…which we’ll continue to maintain.

The creative talent thinks so too, since they mainly live downtown – best in the country btw. As we continue to build out the shop and move into different types of work (coming soon: a major wine account) this is right where we want to be.
